They were of course all volunteers as well - so why did they join up?

Good question Kookabat, but don't know the answer Think many Australians and New Zealanders had antecedents from Europe and still felt some loyalty, or annoyed at the treatment of Jews and Poles. An Uncle of mine Captain Fred Emmett M.C emigrated to N.Z after 1919, think he would be a bit annoyed but too old to volunteer in W.W.2. Are there any aircrew associations near you who you could email and ask to contribute to this thread. Maybe they would explain to us why. We still have vacancies for bomb aimers, mid upper gunners, rear gunners , navigators. and wireless ops
